I would like to paint in a newer, more contemporary style, using classical painting materials and techniques.

When I paint the female nude, the combination of sensuous curves and complex colors somehow makes the nude look abstract. To put it another way, the ability to use any color for skin tones without feeling uncomfortable is a pleasure for me. I also enjoy the time I spend looking at the model while I paint, but when I am finishing up, I also find it an indispensable pleasure to “break” the shape of the model and let my imagination take over.

Seeking the ultimate beauty, I will strive to draw pictures that everyone will be overwhelmed to see so that I can draw beautiful and bewitching women. I hope to express the unfathomable charm of women through my paintings.

When I paint a picture, my own feeling is that it is similar to an excavation process. When I paint the center of a picture, the colors for the other four corners have already been decided. It is also a work like grasping a vague memory in my hand. It seems contradictory, but surprisingly it is not so. Like digging in the earth, I add paint layer by layer as if scooping out water.

He paints landscapes that depict a quiet sense of rhythm in a classical style, and prestigious still life paintings that depict his unique world view. Sota Koike HP https://www.koikesota.com/

I make it based on “curiosity”. It may be an act of trying to unravel the “why?” There, such as animals, women, flowers, shapes, colors, life, memories, time, and invisible things.

There are many thrilling experiences in the process of creation, such as a motif or a stain that is about to be erased creating an unexpected effect, or a phrase that jumps into your eyes or ears and leads you to the completion of the work. I value such “waste” and “noise”. The countless cracks and scratches that I intentionally create are one such example, and recently I have often attached foreign objects and ready-made items to my works. My theme for the future is to weave “trivial myths” through my works and exhibition spaces.

In Japanese painting, it is said that “line” is important. However, there are no “contour lines” because all visible things are three-dimensional. Lines” are created when we recognize the shape of objects, but I think they are very ambiguous things that can be greatly changed by different viewing angles and situations. I think that the reason why I draw pictures is to leave a moment of something that is always changing through the filter of myself. Yuka Taguchi HP https://www.yukataguchi.com/

Nakagami Seisho (b. 1961) paints motifs of people and cats with a sense of life and rich gradation of light. What is the season captured on that screen? If it is a woman, I want to convey the beauty of the difference in age. If it is a cat, I want the viewer to feel the difference between a domestic cat and a stray cat in an instant. By capturing everything on the screen in color, the work appeals to the viewer’s imagination and expresses the color of light and even the scent of the wind, although in reality it only smells like an oil painting. Born left-handed, Seisho Nakagami was corrected to be right-handed in his childhood and painted with his right hand until his late twenties. However, when he encountered Klee’s words, “I will not paint with my right hand, which is stained with letters,” he tried painting with his left hand for the first time in his life, and found that it added nuance to his paintings and gave them more life. After that, I repea

Using women and cats as motifs, I create my works with an emphasis on the inner world and presence that can be sensed through the casual expressions and gestures of everyday life.

Until today, the female figure has been depicted as a symbol of fruitfulness, beauty, faith, charity, truth, vanity, consumption…and so on. Among them, I aim to express the female image as a symbol of fruitfulness and birth. The symbol of birth is the beginning of everything, and is also a symbol of the cycle of birth, return, and birth again. In the image of a woman as such a symbol, I put the meaning of respect for life, in other words, respect for nature, strong longing, and the desire for self-projection.   Miku Niinomi  HP http://mikuniinomi.mystrikingly.com/

I mainly create works using cats and people as motifs. I hope I could touch someone’s heartstrings by sublimating what I am attracted to and what I find fragile and beautiful into my works through my own filter.   Masaaki Hikita HP http://www.masaakihikida.com/
